Physical Terrorism
The physical destruction of property and/or the taking of human life.
September 11, 2001, is an example of Physical Terrorism that not only
destroyed property and took human life, but also had a psychological effect
on the population as a whole.
Psychological Terrorism
Relies on instilling fear on others and taking away the basic freedoms/rights that we take for granted on a daily basis. It can be as simple as being afraid to open our mail, to go out in public, or to travel. Psychological Terrorism effects everyone differently and can have long lasting effects.
Technological Terrorism
The taking advantage of technology to disrupt, destroy, or hamper the use of today’s technology. Computer viruses are a perfect example of Technological Terrorism. A simple, well written virus can bring the world to it’s knees by disrupting computer usage around the world.
Chemical or Biological Terrorism
Chemicals, Diseases, and Nuclear Waste could be used as weapons of mass destruction, but producing the infectious agents, toxins, or chemicals and then disseminating it in the air, water or food would be a daunting challenge.
